Getting Started with WinForms RangeSelector

This tutorial will help you to quickly get started using the control.

Adding Telerik Assemblies Using NuGet

To use RadRangeSelector when working with NuGet packages, install the Telerik.UI.for.WinForms.AllControls package. The package target framework version may vary.

Read more about NuGet installation in the Install using NuGet Packages article.

With the 2025 Q1 release, the Telerik UI for WinForms has a new licensing mechanism. You can learn more about it here.

Adding Assembly References Manually

When dragging and dropping a control from the Visual Studio (VS) Toolbox onto the Form Designer, VS automatically adds the necessary assemblies. However, if you're adding the control programmatically, you'll need to manually reference the following assemblies:

  • Telerik.Licensing.Runtime
  • Telerik.WinControls
  • Telerik.WinControls.UI
  • TelerikCommon

The Telerik UI for WinForms assemblies can be install by using one of the available installation approaches.

Defining the RadRangeSelector

This tutorial demonstrates how to use RadRangeSelector to get a fine grain view of the data represented in RadChartView.

1. Place a RadRangeSelector and RadChartView controls on a form.

2. Setup your RadChartView with some data.

3. Associate the RadChartView control to RadRangeSelector by setting its AssociatedControl property. You can do that by one of the following ways:

  • Set in code:
this.radRangeSelector1.AssociatedControl = this.radChartView1;

Me.radRangeSelector1.AssociatedControl = Me.radChartView1

  • Set in Property Builder at design time:

    WinForms RadRangeSelector Property Builder

  • Set it by using the control’s SmartTag at design time: WinForms RadRangeSelector Smart Tag

4. Press F5 to run the project. WinForms RadRangeSelector Visualization
